Apple Vs. Amazon: Price Fixing?

Apple is accused with price fixing e-books. But are people overlooking Amazon, the possible true fixers of the price?

I choose this because good prices are hard to find with new technology and price fixing will make it almost impossible to find them.

What do you guys think of the NetGenEd project so far? It really has been just setting up and stuff. When do we get to the real fun?

Mr. M posted videos on using tables for our midterm project. I found this very helpful because i had to teach myself how to them. I learned a lot from these videos and i liked that if i missed something, i could back and rewatch it. I think you should do this more often because it makes it easier to learn and go at your pace. In case you were wondering, heres the link:

A Google Facebook?

Google has come out with their own Social Network. It is called Google Plus. Now it is easier to share information with friends and access on seperate computers.

Social Networking is the new thing, and the more there are the better. It keeps us in toch with each other in another way.

The new Android Tablet

Android came out with the Nexus tablet in time to compete with the apple iPad. It may not be able to take sales away from the iPad, but maybe the kindle fire or the Nook. It has many new feature such as a 7" screen and Android 4.0.

This shows the competition in the technology business to have the best and get the most sales. To do that, you have to rapidly make advancements to technology.
